The times of the start and close of the school day for all pupils at Norwood Primary School are:

8.35 Gates open

8.45 Registers open and children working on their morning task

8.55 Doors close – children arriving after this time will receive a ‘late mark’ (L) and will need to sign in at the school office

9.15 Children arriving after 9.15am will receive an ‘unauthorised late mark’ (U) in line with regulations, and this may mean that you face legal action if they persist

When your child is late, they miss the start of the day, they can miss work, and this will impact on their learning.  Late arrivals also disrupt lessons for other pupils in the class, which is not fair on them or your child.

If your child has a persistent late record, we will communicate our concerns via a ‘lates letter’ and then you will be asked to meet with us to resolve the problem, but you can approach us at any time if you are having problems getting your child to school on time.
